When you become a parent your priorities change. You're generally aware this will happen and that the days of doing whatever you want whenever you want will be over. But sometimes, even all the preparation in the world doesn't actually compare to the reality that hits you.

I’ve spent a good chunk of time recently wondering on how I raise my girls to be the best people that they can be. To instill in them values and traits and attributes that will get them through their teenage years and adulthood.

My friend Christina asked if I would like to bring the twins along to a playgroup she goes to. I was mostly excited and partially nervous because this was my first proper playgroup and I didn't know what to expect.
